Hows the fishing at Lake Mead?

Hit Echo Bay last week. in the morning the bass (smallmouth and largemouth) were all over secondary points staging to move up. By mid-morning/early afternoon water temps in the backs finally warmed up enough and bass were cruising. Try a light line (4-6lb test) drop shot rig with a either a 4" straight tail or a 5" curly tail roboworm in either oxblood red with red flake or aaron's magic. This set up will work well around the points and any "dark spot" you see, backsides of boulder etc. We caught several quaility fish on small shallow diving (4ft max) Norman Crankbaits, they were hitting white and shad colors best. Look for side pockets rather than the backs of major coves. Couldn't get a spiner bait or top water bite going, but they would chase the crankbait down. If they water has come up much in the last week and the water is in the "green" brushhave a Texas rigged watermelon colored Zipper worm around 5-6" tied up with a heavy weight 3/8 to 1/2 oz to crash thru the little limbs. I'm trying to attach a few pics from that trip. Good luck. You might recognize some of the coves as well we were within eyesight of Echo all day.
